But, rich in character and satire, the novel boasts even more layers of ingenious storytelling. Set in 1941 and framed cleverly as an “abridged” retelling of a centuries-old tale set in the fabled country of Florin, home to “Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passions.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliam Goldman's modern fantasy classic is an exceptional story about quests—for riches, revenge, power, and, of course, true love—that's thrilling and timeless for readers of all ages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003cem\u003eTHE PRINCESS BRIDE\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"[Goldman's] swashbuckling fable is nutball funny . . .
